⁠From Corporate America to Entrepreneurship: 

Emily Hartstone’s Leap of Faith

Before founding From The Hart Management, LLC, Emily Hartstone spent over a decade in corporate America, building a reputation for excellence in event management and business consulting. She thrived in high-energy roles, managing everything from corporate conferences to intricate client strategies. However, the relentless pace and high-stakes pressure of the corporate world took a toll, especially as she navigated a personal health battle. Her experience with leukemia served as a profound wake-up call, highlighting the importance of pursuing a life fueled by passion rather than obligation.

In 2022, inspired by her journey and eager to shape her own professional path, Emily made the courageous decision to step away from her corporate career and launch her own venture. This was more than just a career pivot—it was a mission to bring her unique expertise to clients on her own terms. From The Hart Management, LLC emerged as a consulting powerhouse, specializing in event management, nonprofit guidance, and strategic business planning. Drawing on her extensive industry experience, Emily quickly earned the trust and respect of her clients, and her company began to thrive.

The shift from employee to entrepreneur presented Emily with challenges she hadn’t anticipated, from building a brand to navigating the uncertainties of business ownership. Yet, her resilience, honed through years in corporate environments and personal health challenges, became her greatest asset. She embraced each hurdle as a learning experience, refining her skills and deepening her understanding of entrepreneurship.

This blog post explores Emily’s insights on the transition to entrepreneurship—covering topics like building a resilient mindset, staying adaptable, and redefining success on one’s own terms. Her story underscores the power of perseverance and the fulfillment that comes from aligning career with personal values.
